After Funing left the Prince's Mansion unhappy, Zhao Li also returned to the bedroom.
Liu Lang was sitting on the bed reading a book. When he heard that Zhao Li was coming back, he asked, "Fu Ning has gone back?"
"I'm back..." Zhao Li replied while thinking about how to tell Liu Lang about Funing.
Zhao Li closed the door and walked slowly to the bedside. After a short pause, he said, "Your Highness, just now Funing told my concubine something in the garden..."
"Oh? What did she say..." Liu Lang didn't look away from the book when he asked.
Zhao Li looked at her husband's face and said softly: "Fu Ning said...she has a candidate in mind..."
Liu Lang was surprised. He immediately lowered his book and looked up at Zhao Li. He asked in surprise: "Really?"
"Hmm." Zhao Li nodded solemnly and said, "Your Highness, how could a concubine treat this kind of thing as a joke?"
Liu Lang immediately closed the book and asked slightly nervously: "Tell me quickly, who is the person that Funing is interested in?"
Zhao Li lowered his voice again and said: "Chai Yan."
"Who! Chai Yan?" Liu Lang didn't expect to hear this name at all, and was so stunned that he couldn't recover for a long time.
So Zhao Li walked to the bedside and sat down slowly, and told Liu Lang in detail what Funing had said to her in the garden.
After hearing this, Liu Lang's eyebrows were already furrowed, and he shook his head in disbelief: "Fu Ning is still a child, why is she interested in a relationship between men and women? She has just turned ten years old..."
Zhao Li looked unsurprised: "Your Highness, there is nothing surprising about this. Girls have always been wiser than boys. What's more, Funing has lived in the palace since he was a child. He will naturally know that one day in the future
I wanted to recruit a consort...but I didn't expect that Funing would fall in love with Chai Yan by accident..."
"No, it can't be Chai Yan! Li'er, go and tell Funing that Chai Yan can't do it!" Liu Lang expressed his objection without thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
Zhao Li hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already told Funing this..."
"What's Funing's expression like?" Liu Lang asked.
"I wasn't very happy, so I left unhappy." Zhao Li said matter-of-factly.
Liu Langxin said that it was no wonder that Funing didn't come to say hello to her when she left. She thought she was too lazy to come, but now she realized what happened.
Liu Lang thought for a moment and said: "Fu Ning is still young, and Chai Yan is probably a child at heart. As time goes by, she will definitely forget about it... Li'er, don't let him go to you during this period."
Chai Yan has entered the palace, and we must avoid Chai Yan and Funing from meeting..."
Zhao Li nodded and said: "Even if Your Highness doesn't say anything, I will pay attention to it, but I am worried that Funing will mention it to the Emperor and Queen after returning to the palace..."
After a pause, Zhao Li continued: "Your Highness, you also know that the Queen gave birth to Funing when she was in her forties. She is the one whom the Emperor and Queen love the most. If Funing really loses his temper and proposes to recruit Chai Yan as his consort,
Then this matter will be troublesome..."
Liu Lang looked worried and said: "Li'er, do you think what Funing said is true? Does the father really not intend to let his adopted sister get married?"
Regarding this issue, Zhao Li had already thought about it on the way back to her room, and said immediately: "Your Highness, judging from the anxious look on Funing's face just now, what she said must have really happened! Think carefully about the Emperor's rule eighteen years ago
That decision, isn’t this the emperor’s behavior?”
As soon as Zhao Li finished speaking, Liu Lang's face became more and more worried, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Liu Lang didn't say a word, and Zhao Li didn't bother to make a fuss. He just quietly got up and left the bed. After a while, he brought a cup of tea.
Liu Lang took the tea and took a sip, then said in a worried tone: "Li'er, you can find a way to go to the palace as soon as possible to see your mother and explain this matter to your mother...Fu Ning has always been stubborn and stubborn.
It's best not to let her mention Chai Yan's matter to the queen first, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand!" Zhao Li nodded heavily.
Then, Liu Lang gave her a few more words, and Zhao Li left the bedroom.
Liu Lang put down the tea, couldn't help but sigh, and secretly shook his head helplessly...
In fact, after Chai Yan rescued Liu Lang, Liu Lang had already thought about using Chai Yan in the future. Promotion and title were only the first step. In the future, his sworn sister, Mo You, would also marry Chai Yan, so that Chai Yan would treat him better.
Be absolutely determined and don't have two minds.
But now, Funing shows up halfway. If the father really agrees to recruit Chai Yan to be Funing's consort, then this will be a big mistake!
An hour later, outside the palace.
A luxury car from the Prince's Mansion slowly stopped.
Pei Yang jumped out of the car and trotted to the guards at the palace gate. The two sides soon started talking.
After a while, a guard came into the palace. Pei Yang said a few polite words and returned to the car.
"Prince Princess, please wait a moment, someone has already gone in to report to the Queen..." Pei Yang reported.
Zhao Li replied in the car: "I know... I hope the Queen is willing to meet me..."
After hearing this, Pei Yang bowed and then returned to the palace gate, waiting attentively for the guards who had gone to report the matter to return.
Generally speaking, you need to apply and notify in advance to see the Queen. If you want to see the Queen at last minute, it depends on the Queen's mood and whether she is busy with anything at hand.
Just like now, Zhao Li has to try his luck when he comes to ask for a meeting at short notice!
About a quarter of an hour later, the guards who had gone to report the matter came back.
At the same time, the curtain of the car window also opened a corner, and Zhao Li was paying close attention to Pei Yang's conversation with the guard from a distance.
Soon, Pei Yang finished talking to the guard and ran quickly to the car.
As soon as they got closer, Zhao Li in the car window couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"
Pei Yang looked at the car window with a depressed expression, cupped his hands and said: "Princess, the Queen said she was tired today, and it was getting late, so she disappeared..."
Zhao Li frowned instantly, thinking that this was going to be troublesome. If the night was so long, Funing would definitely go to the Queen to complain about the child's temper.
After thinking about it, Zhao Li felt a little regretful. He regretted that when he was in the garden just now, he should have found an excuse to delay Funing's stay and prevent her from returning to the palace so soon...
When Pei Yang saw that Zhao Li hadn't spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Princess, what should we do now?"
When Zhao Li heard Pei Yang's question, he came back to his senses and said: "Go back, I will come back tomorrow morning!"
---------------
Around evening, inside Xuanyi Palace.
Princess Funing has been unhappy and sulky since she came back from the Prince's Mansion, and not a single chopstick of the dishes on the table was touched.
None of the eunuchs and maids around her dared to question her. This little ancestor was not someone to be trifled with. When she was in a bad mood, if she said something inappropriate, anyone might get whipped by her.
Suddenly, Princess Funing couldn't sit still anymore. She jumped off the chair and shouted: "Fushun, let's go!"
Fushun was startled and hurriedly followed him and asked: "Your Highness, where are we going?"
Princess Funing strode forward and said in a stubborn voice: "Ninghe Palace!"
